Then one approached him and said, “Teacher, what good works must I do to obtain eternal life?” Jesus answered him: - Why do you ask me about what is good? Only one is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments. The young man asked him: —Which ones? Jesus said to him: "You shall not kill, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not perjure, honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as yourself." The young man said to him: —I have accomplished all that, what is left for me to do? Jesus answered him: -If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions, give it to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven; Then follow me. When the young man heard it, he left sad, because he was very rich. Jesus said to his disciples: - I assure you that a rich man will enter the kingdom of God with great difficulty. I repeat to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
